Fiance slept with a prostitute

Don’t know what to do or think.

Last night my fiance told me slept with a prostitute a couple of weeks ago after a work night out.

Basically, went out for work drinks and ended up getting paralytic, a work friend said to him I’ve got someone I want you to meet it’s a good business lead etc. They turn up at the house and partner is confused because there’s only girls there and there is a bed in the room. Work friend starts negotiating prices and partner then realises it’s a brothel. Said he started freaking out saying wtf are you doing this isn’t right etc. Work friend/ prostitues say to him this is normal everyone does it and he says they convince him to do it. He said the girl took his trousers down put on condom and they had sex for 30 seconds then he said no I can’t do this and ran out of the house and made his way home.

Broke down crying to me about this last night saying he’s so sorry and he can’t believe he’s done this and he’s never once been in a situation where he’s been close to cheating so can’t believe he was stupid enough to let himself get into this mess.

I’m in shock tbh I would never have expected this from him he is usually a really genuine moral person with really strong family/ relationship values. He said he will never do anything like this again and will not ever get himself in a state like that again.

Dont know what to do, we’re supposed to be getting married in 6 months. Other than this he has never done anything cheating wise etc he absolutely hates cheating. Am I being really naive to forgive him? I love him and I don’t want to throw away our relationship over a stupid drunken mistake if he will genuinely never do it again. I also can’t look at him and can’t imagine ever having sex with him again.

need some other opinions don’t want to tell anyone in my personal life.

You've had a narrow escape. The only part of the story you can really believe is that he slept with a sex worker.

I have. I’m only here by fluke, following a google search for “best door lock brands”, which led me to the best article from a locksmith on Mumsnet.

l’m an over fifty male, fairly successful and single. Made all the mistakes. My five pence is regarded as “drivel” when I’ve actually been exactly here. The towering hatred of men on this thread is absolutely sickening, All the ladies banging the drum to lose this guy fast. He displayed honesty and incredible immaturity.

Good luck dating the players who aren’t so honest and aren’t willing to “share their feelings”.

I’m out. Perma-out. The last relationship was just me apologising and paying. Men aren’t the enemy, We are the other side of the same coin.

There’s only one question you need to ask yourself:

If your fiance told you that she cheated on you with a male prostitute after drinking too much and being encouraged into it by a group of female colleagues at a mate’s hen party (for example), would you forgive her for being honest with you or would you be disgusted and break up with her (and then engage in vindictive behaviour like slagging her off to all your friends and acquaintances)?

I am probably a lot more understanding of people making mistakes (especially when drunk) than most of the people on this thread, but I suspect that you are not so understanding when it comes to women and simply have double standards. The women on this thread don’t hate men, they hate toxic masculine behaviour, they hate the betrayal of trust that comes with cheating and they hate the exploitation of women that is sadly the cornerstone of the sex industry. The fact that you called the prostitute a ‘skank’ in your previous post speaks volumes about your attitude towards women.

You are the one displaying hatred for women.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with women not wanting to be with men who cheat with prostitutes. Stop trying to tell women it's ok and normal and can easily happen and we should commend him for at least being honest.

No women shouldn't be grateful that at least he's honest, and that at least it was just a prostitute and he only got carried away because he was out with colleagues.

I'd imagine the reason that you're single is because of your own attitude towards women. It's just plain weird to be on MN telling women that they're wrong for having normal reactions to bad behaviour.

@BillyBobbins1

The last relationship was just me apologising and paying.

My other half doesn’t have to apologise all the time, because he’s nice to me. As am I to him.

If you’re constantly apologising then maybe you’re not behaving like a great partner in the first place.

Something to think about.

You describe women on this thread as man haters when they’ve criticised this individual man for cheating with a prostitute.

You sound so much angrier with women as a sex class than anyone does on this thread with men as a sex class.

Maybe you could have healthier romantic relationships if you didn’t so obviously hate women and feel that they don’t give you what you think you deserve.

Some counselling could be life changing for you.

Cautiousgrandad · 27/07/2025 20:33

So do all women think that all men are an accident waiting to happen?

Sticking your penis in a prostitute is not a mistake. It is a choice that only the sleaziest, creepiest scummiest man would make.

And if you actually believe that a man goes from zero to fucking prossies, I have a bridge Id like to sell you. He has DEFINITELY done lots and lots and lots of other shit. If he's admitting using prostitutes, what he's not admitting to must be beyond belief.

Edited

Dangerously misguided.

If he was up to all sorts, he'd not be crying and confessing after the "nth" time he played away.

Would he? As my father used to say, "The problem with common sense, is that it's uncommon."

Jertzy · 27/07/2025 16:04

I'd be impressed with some of my exes if they lasted 30 seconds. His timing might be accurate but it was probably "post n#t clarity" that made him run!

Cautiousgrandad · 27/07/2025 13:15

Wow again to that last post mentality-that's the way to live your life..

mylovedoesitgood · 27/07/2025 10:34

His story is a load of bollocks, obviously.

I agree with everyone who’s advising you to go ahead with the wedding and play the game to strengthen your position because if you bin him off now you don’t have much on your side. So start planning now - acquire as much money as you can, strengthen your support network, take legal advice, and do online learning to acquire or enhance your skills. Don’t ever become financially dependent on anyone again.

lowkey33 · 27/07/2025 09:57

are you dense? he was blind drunk and woman pulled his pants down and put on condom without consent. if it was the other way around you would be irate.

He clearly wasn't blind drunk seeing as he remembers everything and had no issue getting home, and she did have consent, he said they convinced him.
I think it must be you who is dense considering how you're twisting this.

lowkey33 · 27/07/2025 09:57

AtrociousCircumstance · 20/07/2025 13:04

He uses other humans to have sex into and doesn’t care about consent.

Quite apart from the disgusting betrayal.

Dump him.

Lots of people (including myself) have said if his version of events is accurate its a SA

However, personally im dubious. Prostitutes have sex for the money. If they were paid and hed said no, I dont see why they wouldnt keep the money and NOT have sex with him. And if hes was "freaking out" how she managed to get this condom on and start sex with him.

But have said if its true he should report the place and his work friends to the police and his colleagues behavoiur to HR.

It isn't SA even if his version of events is accurate, he said himself that they convinced him to do it.

Going along with 'peer pressure' or giving in to a prostitute trying to sell you sex is absolutely nothing like SA.

TurtleyProudDuck · 26/07/2025 18:04

Had to post as surprised no one else has commented about possible sexual assault/rape. She took down the trousers and put the condom on someone paralytic drunk then they were having sex for 30 seconds - ie until he was able to stop her. That’s why he is so distressed and why this is so out of character.

I’m sure plenty of people will think me naive as they see only the worst, and I may not be right in this instance, but men are raped and sexually assaulted too and it really sounds like it could be what happened here. The only person who can judge is OP who should listen to her gut. But if he’s in real distress then she should lead with kindness - she doesn’t need to decide anything now.

We do have kids, I’m a SAHM. I wouldn’t be able to afford to stay in our house on my own and wouldn’t be able to afford anything even remotely close to the area I’m in.

So annoyed at him for ruining our family. Our kids are so happy and settled where we are. I don’t have any family help so I will be on my own with nothing and no one.

And he will probably get married and have more kids in the future as he’s successful and attractive and still young and I’ll be alone for the rest of my life as I’ll have 2 kids to support and no one to look after them if I ever wanted to go out.

Get a good lawyer.

If the genders were reversed, she’d stay quiet.

Women don’t confess to infidelity.

There's been many on here who have posted that they did indeed tell their partners.

BillyBobbins1 · 27/07/2025 00:00

kkloo · 26/07/2025 22:48

If the genders were reversed everyone would tell her that she cheated. There is no suggestion that he was too drunk to consent, he said he was paralytic, yet he remembers it very well, he walked into the place, remembers the negotiation, remembers agreeing, had an erection, managed to have sex he also managed to run out of there and make his way home. He clearly wasn't too drunk to consent and any woman who told a similar story would be told she cheated.

fateisdestined2025 · 26/07/2025 23:20

30 seconds? That’s too long for him to think no I don’t want to do this. Leave him so he doesn’t do this again.

kkloo · 26/07/2025 22:48

InterestedReader1 · 26/07/2025 20:09

There is nothing about lack him getting consent. If anything, the lady involved did not get his consent since apparently he was drunk. If the genders had been reversed few would hesitate in naming what took place as 'rape'.

However, I see that he used another human to have sex (is that not normal). And it seems like a betrayal.

This is not easy for you and I wish you the best of luck resolving the situation in a way that you can live with for the indefinite future.

MrMan007 · 26/07/2025 22:30

this is borderline, I tripped and I accidentally felt dick first onto a naked woman territory. The 30 seconds line… classic watering down, and in any case, 1 second or 1 day; no difference. You don’t get to shag someone a little bit, you do or you don’t.

Why would it matter whether he was looking for sex? It’s still where he ended up.

Yeah, the world’s oldest profession snared another drunk boy.

How many comments do you need to make? You’re just posting drivel over and over and over again. Incessant commenting. It’s quite worrying.

There was exactly nothing constructive in your comment. Zero.

I was bringing a different view from “Kill the pig”.

stop whining.

Do NOT marry this man. Take heed of what many posters on here are saying. The only good thing about this is that you found out before you got married.
